November – Depressing? Not really.

I came across a blog that noted November was the most depressing month of the year for many reasons including:
– It is getting colder
– The green is gone from the trees
– The grass is brown
– Daylight is diminished

I prefer to think of Thanksgiving when I think about November. Both the capital “T” Thanksgiving, as in the wonderful holiday with friends and family, and the time of year when many volunteer time or donate goods to help others in need. And the small “t” thanksgiving, as in the many things I am thankful for in my journey in life like family, friends and community.
